COLORADO SPRINGS — Sources confirmed to News5 Wednesday evening the driver of the Cybertruck in the Las Vegas explosion lived in Colorado Springs.

According to senior law enforcement sources, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger was the driver and had several Colorado Springs addresses associated to him. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is at a townhouse complex, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).

The complex is located on the east side of Colorado Springs in the Stetson Hills neighborhood. The FBI is at one of the addresses associated with Livelsberger.

Our team at the scene has seen law enforcement escort neighbors away from the complex, but police say there is no known threat to the community. News5 crews at the scene have observed armored vehicles and agents in tactical gear.

1. Former Green Beret. He may still be active duty based on his linked in and years of service.

No one retires at 19 years! And no one leaves one year short of retiring. Unless something "went wrong".

19. Thanks for the excellent info. I was amused at the irony of the juxtaposition of "Targeting" and "Community."

Yes, community referred to the intelligence community, but when I was reading, the two words next to each other "Community" and "Targeting, caught my eye.

[LiberalArkie]

45. Communications Specialist - I wonder if he knew the army guy busted for the Verizon and AT&T data thief?

[Celerity]

3. per the profile, it does not look like he was retired

[LeftInTX]

4. I know. But profiles don't tell everything. He did comment a month ago, so it's likely up to date.

[Celerity]

5. his new job role was updated in November 2024, so very recently

[orleans]

18. is he in this photo? (which one?) nt

[LeftInTX]

46. Not that I know of. He was commenting on it.

[Abolishinist]

6. Well, that will give the MAGAts

a one-two punch on the libs!

Both of the perps of these recent events were U.S. citizens with current/former military status.

[LeftInTX]

9. His arms are covered with tattoos. Don't know what they stand for.

He went by Matt Berg on FB. A person that liked his pic is named Roger Livelsberger. Roger Livelsberger is the name of his dad. Also someone that knows him says it's his FB:




It looks like he gained allot of weight from Jun - Sep

His dad is a Trump supporter

10. What a horrible 24 hours of carnage

To start our new year.

[mopinko]

11. colo springs is a hotbed of military maga.

it’s where norad is. not just any military base.
my son lived there for a while, and he hated to go into town. they’re not just magats, they think they’re maga royalty.

[travelingthrulife]

22. The birthplace of evangelical insanity.

[sdfernando]

26. Back in the mid-70s my dad was assigned/attached to NORAD

He was an Army Lt. Colonel at the time. We didn't live at any of the bases, we lived in the city for 2 years before dad was reassigned to Hawaii (YEAH!). He wanted us out of the Springs as soon as possible. Being Mexican there was a lot of not so goodwill/vibes thrown at the entire family....even when he was in uniform. I don't ever want to go to that place again.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. iid love to respond to that but in my typical fashioned id get auto removed . i am in favor of your statment though.

[jmowreader]

29. It's also where Fort Carson is

Fort Carson is where they moved 10th Special Forces Group to when they pulled it out of Fort Devens, MA in the 1990s. Since the mad bomber was a Green Beret the Colorado Springs part makes too much sense.

[k0rs]

44. Fort Carson

Fort Carson
Peterson AFB
USAFA Academy
Schriever SFB (Space Force Base )
Norad

We're drowning in military. When Ft Carson was under review for closing, signs popped up everywhere saying "Save our soldiers." It wasn't closed of course, but expanded. Naturally, politicians think this is all great because "It's good for the economy."

Not to mention the Xtian Taliban that has set up shop here, actively recruited by city gubmint as "non-polluting industry." To say this has affected the culture of the city is an understatement. One of the reddest counties in a blue state.

[niyad]

39. And far too many fundies. But there are a good many progressives here,

working very hard to turn this area blue.

[flamingdem]

12. Associated TO or associated WITH?

Is the English language changing? Is that a Coloradoism?

[Blue_Tires]

13. I don't get it

(Assuming the explosion was 100% planned and intentional) Even if he wasn't in his right mind, you'd think someone from the Army Special Forces could put together a bomb that would have a much greater area of effect? 🤔

[Mr.WeRP]

14. Failed false flag

Maybe Trump wanted this and one of his “proud boys” organized it but it literally blew up in the guys face.

[Blue_Tires]

16. But this guy wasn't an amateur though...?

Okay, the whole charade in Pennsylvania was obviously staged because that shooter was a rank amateur... But something just seems off about this?

The cornerstone foundation of Trumpism is to use inexperienced gullible morons for literally everything...

[Mr.WeRP]

20. They didn't want a "pro" job

They wanted it to look amateurish to make it seem like liberals or immigrants did it.

The goal wasn’t real death and destruction in Vegas, it was to show hate toward Trump/Musk from groups Trump wants to punish.

[John1956PA]

27. Thank you. You have perfectly stated my thoughts. n/t

[yellow dahlia]

31. I had a similar thought.

We might get a tin foil hat thrown at us.

[Mr.WeRP]

35. Iran hostage crisis, WMD... we've seen manufactured shit before

They seem to be getting worse at it though.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. I'm going to guess that this was a suicide.

Another guy going through a divorce who wanted to make a splashy exit?

[IronLionZion]

17. Suicide is a big problem with many veterans

and it can be a bigger problem when they take out others around them too.

I haven't seen anything yet about a motive or crazed rants or whatever.

[LudwigPastorius]

36. I haven't heard that.

From the surveillance footage, there appears to be some movement in the driver's seat just before the explosion, but you can't really tell what is happening.

Viewing it frame by frame, the explosion does appear to begin in the cabin before spreading to the rear of the truck a split second later.

[yellow dahlia]

42. Just deleted my previous "comment".

Press conference is on now from Las Vegas - saying gun shot to head before the detonation. Answers my previous question.

[BoRaGard]

21. Dude did not like being called a "SUCKER AND LOSER"

By the G.O.P.'s felonious draft dodger.

Is a likely motive.

I know I didn't like it, but I'm committed to nonviolence.

[BoRaGard]

24. Snopes on The G.O.P. Felon's denigrating America's Armed Forces

"In other words, Kelly, who was with Trump in Paris, confirmed that Trump did call American troops "losers" and "suckers," though it was unclear whether he witnessed the comments firsthand or heard about them from someone else, or from news reports.

(The 2020 Atlantic story detailed a separate incident of Trump visiting the grave of Kelly's son who was killed in action in Afghanistan, for which Kelly was supposedly present.

In that case, Trump allegedly asked of military personnel who volunteered to join the service, "What was in it for them?&quot "

[Emile]

23. How long before Trump blames Antifa?

[Initech]

34. Didn't even take 24 hours to incorporate New Orleans into their shitty Nazi agenda.

[Clouds Passing]

25. He knew something.

[Unladen Swallow]

30. I would have expected a Green Beret

esp an active duty one with significant EOD and IED training, to have been able to make that little tesla truck explosion many orders of magnitude larger.... Something does not add up here.

[speak easy]

37. "Something does not add up here"

Exactly. My first thought, without knowing the driver's background was it's a Cybertruck - you could have filled the trunk with fertilizer?

[Initech]

32. You know, the GOP brings this on themselves.

Trump attracts violent, unhinged lunatics to his cause and the GOP gives them unlimited weapons and ammo, and a reason to be angry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the Fox Ministry Of Propaganda. Lather, rinse, repeat.

[Unladen Swallow]

48. But Trump is not president. This did not happen under him.

It happened under Biden.

[IbogaProject]

38. Nightmare neighbor

He has had friction with his excessive fireworks where he lives. I saw a screenshot of some twitter back and forth with him and his neighbors on reddit.

[Maeve]

40. Could be he just drove the wrong vehicle

Still waiting for more info

[allegorical oracle]

41. FYI, Las Vegas police chief is saying there is not yet 100% proof it's Livelsberger -- thinks it is,

but is equivocating somewhat because the body was burnt beyond recognition.

[Celerity]

43. He also said that stomach and arm tattoos look similar, what little they could make out.

I am very sure DNA will confirm it is him. Very.

[totodeinhere]

47. His uncle in an interview said that he was pro-MAGA.

And a Trump lover. Very interesting.
